The harness locking and release button does not always return to its locked position. A button that is not in the locked position can allow the harness adjustment strap to slip back through the adjuster as a child moves around in the seat and results in a loose harness.

Consequence: In the event of a vehicle crash, the child may not be adequately protected and is at an increased risk for injury.

Corrective Action: Registered owners will receive a free remedy kit consisting of a small tube of non-toxic, food-grade lubricant to be applied to the center front adjuster (CFA) to prevent sticking and allow it to properly engage the CFA strap. Instruction on how to apply the lubricant will be provided, along with a label to indicate that the repair has been completed. Non-registered owners should contact DJG at 1-866-623-3139 or by email at harnessadjustment@djgusa.com. Consumers will need the entire model number on the child restraint when contacting the manufacturer.

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

Consumers with further questions may e-mail the company at consumer@djgusa.com or call our toll-free number, 1-866-623-3139, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.

Britax Chaperone

Make: Britax Chaperone

Defect: Britax is recalling certain Britax Chaperone infant car seats (model numbers E9L69N9, E9L69P2, E9L69P3, and E9L69P5) manufactured from April, 2009 through May, 2010. The chest clip which positions the harness straps across the infant's shoulders may break when the chest clip is engaged as the infant is secured into the infant car seat.

Consequence: The sharp edges of the broken chest clip could create a risk of a skin laceration and the fractured components of the chest clip may present a small parts/choking hazard.

Corrective Action:
Britax will mail to consumers notice and remedy kits that contain a replacement chest clip and instruction sheet. The safety campaign is expected to begin on or about November 11, 2010. Owners may contact Britax Customer Service Department at 1-888-427-4829

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Britax

The Chest Clip supplied with the Chaperone Infant Car Seat was incorrectly produced by the
manufacturer which resulted in a more brittle chest clip than was intended. As a result, the chest clip
which positions the harness straps across the infant's shoulders may break when the chest clip is
engaged as the infant is secured into the infant car seat. The sharp edges of the broken chest clip create
a risk of a skin laceration and the fractured components of the chest clip may present a small
parts/choking hazard. If your chest clip breaks, remove the broken chest clip from the harness along with
any fragments. The Chaperone Infant Car Seat can continue to be used until the replacement chest clip
is installed.

What You Should Do

Britax is providing with this notice a remedy kit that contains a replacement chest clip and an
instruction sheet. Confirm whether your Chaperone Infant Car Seat is affected by verifying the model
number, date of manufacturer as follows:
A. Remove Chaperone Infant Car Seat from base.
B. Turn Infant Car Seat over and locate the white sticker on underside of Car Seat
C. Look for model numbers and manufacturing dates: E9L69N9, E9L69P2, E9L69P3, E9L69P5;
Manufactured between April 2009 through May 2010.
D. If your Chaperone Infant Car Set is affected, carefully read and follow the detailed
instructions included in the kit.

EVENFLO / 310 (MAESTRO)

Defect: Evenflo is recalling certain Maestro Child Restraint Systems with model numbers beginning with 310 and built from November 24, 2009, through April 9, 2010. These seats fail to conform to the structural integrity requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

Consequence: In the event of a crash, a crack may form at the front of the seat adjacent to the harness adjuster causing the child not to be adequately restrained, increasing the risk of injury.

Corrective Action: Evenflo will provide owners and care givers a reinforcement plate along with repair instructions free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during October 2010. Owners may contact Evenflo toll-free at 1-800-233-5921

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Evenflo

Evenflo is recalling U.S. seats with
model numbers that begin with 310 that were built between November 24, 2009 and
April 9, 2010. In Canada, the initiative involves seats with a model number that begins
with 310 that were built between December 17, 2009 and April 26, 2010. Maestro
child restraints built after April 2010 are not affected by this action.
Evenflo is proactively initiating this action to address an issue first observed at an
independent test laboratory in late September.

The seat should not be used with children weighing under 40 pounds without the
repair bracket. Children who weigh more than 40 pounds can continue to use the seat
as a belt-positioning booster until the remedy kit arrives.

In the U.S., affected Maestro model numbers are 3101198, 3101980, 31011048,
31011049, and 31011059. In Canada, the affected model number is 31011057C. The
model number and date of manufacture can be found on a white label behind the seat
above the highest shoulder belt slot. Other Maestro models are not affected.

Evenflo for a free reinforcement kit by calling (in the U.S.) 800-233-5921 and (in
Canada) 800-265-0749 between 8 am and 5 pm ET.

Cybex (Regal Lager) Solution X-fix High Back Booster Seat

Make: Cybex (distributed by Regal Lager)

Defect: Certain Cybex Solution X-fix model booster seats manufactured during February 2010, were produced using an incorrect warning label. The defect consists of an incorrect warning statement related to securing an unoccupied booster seat. This statement is inconsistent with Cybex recommended practices - always secure an unoccupied booster with the vehicle seat belt. If a caregiver follows the warning as written, there is an increased risk that the unoccupied booster seat could strike a vehicle occupant and cause injury in a severe crash. The incorrect warning statement appears in the owner's manual and on the headrest warning label.

Consequence: In a sharp turn, crash, or sudden stop, an unsecured booster seat can be thrown around and could injure vehicle occupants.

Corrective Action: Regal Lager will notify caregivers and provide a new label to be affixed over the old label and owners will also receive a new owners manual free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about August 10, 2010. Owners may contact Regal Lager toll-free at 1-800-593-5522 between 8:30 am and 5:30 pm EST.

Notes: Regal Lager's recall campaign number Is 2010-01. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

Dorel Juvenile Group

Make: Maxi-Cosi

Defect: Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Mico infant child restraint systems, models 22-371 HFL, JUC, LMD, PNG, and ORE; 22-372 TTH; AND Maxi-Cosi Mico infant child restraint system - base only, model 22-515 BLK, produced from February 18, 2008 through June 28, 2008. Interference between the mounting bracket and the base caused by warping of the base or inadequate mating between the shell and the base mounting bracket can result in difficulty attaching or detaching the shell from the base,

Consequence: If the shell is improperly mounted to the base, the child could be injured in the event of a crash.

Corrective Action: DJG will notify all registered owners and will send a remedy kit consisting of two base springs, a hex wrench, and instructions for the base spring replacement. The repair kit is free of charge. The safety campaign is expected to begin on or about February 5, 2010. Owners may contact DJG at 1-877-657-9546.

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

Dorel Juvenile Group

Summary: These Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) child restraint systems, manufactured from March 15 to August 1, 2002 with 6 panel Wellington webbing harnesses, fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." the UV stabilizer used in the webbing may not adequately protect it from deterioration by ultraviolet rays.

Consequence: If the webbing is exposed to significant amounts of sunlight, it could degrade. If the webbing strength degrades more than allowed by the standard it may not provide sufficient protection to a child in a crash, causing an increased risk of injury to the child.

Remedy: DJG's petition for relief from remedy based on its belief that the noncompliance was inconsequential to motor vehicle safety was denied by NHTSA on January 5, 2010. Accordingly, DJG will conduct a safety recall campaign. It will notify registered owners and provide free replacement kits for the harnesses along with repair instructions. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about February 2, 2010. Owners may call DJG toll-free at 1-866-690-2539.

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov

Consequence: If the webbing is exposed to a significant amount of abrasion, it could degrade. If the webbing degrades more than permitted by the standard, it may not provide sufficient protection to a child in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the child.

Remedy: DJG's petition for relief from remedy based on its belief that the noncompliance was inconsequential to motor vehicle safety was denied by NHTSA on January 5, 2010. Accordingly, DJG will conduct a safety recall campaign. It will notify registered owners and provide free replacement kits for the tether along with repair instructions. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about February 2, 2010. Owners may call DJG toll-free at 1-866-690-2539.

Notes: Owners may also contact the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

First Choice Infant Car Seat Model 3604098

Attention Evenflo First Choice model 3604098 Infant Car Seat Owners

If you have an Evenflo First Choice, model number 3604098, manufactured between January 16, 2009 and September 29, 2009, contact Evenflo for a free set of labels.

Please contact Evenflo at 800-233-5921 for a set of labels. You may continue to use your First Choice until your new labels arrive. The responsibility for this action rests solely with Evenflo, so please do not return the seat to your local retailer or distributor.

Consequence: In the event of a crash, the child may not be adequately restrained, thereby increasing the risk of injury.

Corrective Action: Lerado will notify registered owners. Parents and caregivers are being advised to stop using the seat. A full refund will be offered. The safety recall is expected to begin during November 2009. Owners may contact Lerado at 1-717-735-3788 or toll-free at 1-877-546-8437.

Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

The harness splitter plate located on the rear of the seat has sharp edges which can cut the harness. Also, the base could crack in a crash. In the event of a crash, the child may not be adequately restrained, thereby increasing the risk of injury.

Lerado will notify registered owners and offer a full refund. The safety recall is expected to begin during November 2009. Owners may contact Lerado at 1-877-546-8437.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safecar.gov

According to Lerado/Mia Moda, there have been no injuries reported due to these problems and this is a voluntary precaution they are taking.

Dorel Juvenile Group

Defect: Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Child Restraint Systems, Models 22-371 and 22-372, and Maxi-cosi Mico Infant Child Restraint System - base only, model 22-515, produced from July 2007 through February 17, 2008. Interference between the mounting bracket and the base caused by warping of the base or inadequate mating between the shell and the base mounting bracket can result in difficulty attaching or detaching the shell from the base.

Consequence: If the shell is improperly mounted to the base, the child could be injured in the event of a crash.

Corrective Action: DJG will notify all registered owners and will send a new Mico base to owners of the affected seats free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about July 24, 2009. Owners may contact DJG AT 1-877-657-9546.

Consumer Advisory: Dorel Recalls 28,350 Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Seats

Dorel is recalling the child restraints because of attachment difficulties between the infant carrier and the base. If the carrier is improperly mounted to the base, the child could be injured in the event of a crash. The affected models include the Maxi-Cosi Mico infant child restraint systems, Models 22-371 and 22-372, and Maxi-Cosi Mico infant child restraint system - base only, Model 22-515, produced from July 2007 through February 17, 2008.

Dorel will replace the Mico base free of charge. For more information, owners may contact the company's customer service department at 1-877-657-9546 or http://www.djgusa.com/

In addition, parents and caregivers are urged to sign up with NHTSA to automatically receive updates about child seat recalls via email. The agency's research shows that fewer than half of all affected consumers respond to child seat recalls.

Consumers may sign-up for recall notifications from the federal government by visiting www.safercar.gov and clicking on the "e-mail" or "RSS" option to register. Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall campaign may call NHTSA's toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153).

Consequence: In the event of a crash, the child may not be properly restrained, possibly resulting in injury to the child.

Remedy: Triple Play will notify owners and provide a free repair kit along with instructions to replace the center adjuster webbing. The safety recall is expected to begin during May/June 2009. Owners may contact Triple Play consumer information line toll-free at 1-800-829-1625.

Recaro - April 2009 Amendment

The date range listed below is an expansion of the initial 02/01/08 - 09/30/08 date range for this recall. In addition, the recall was expanded to include Como as well as Signo models listed in the initial notice.

Defect: Recaro North America, Inc. is recalling certain Signo and Como child restraint systems manufactured from November 1, 2007 to February 16, 2009. A mechanical spring, located inside the locking cam, was manufactured outside the dimensional requirements. The central front adjuster strap on those seats containing the incorrectly manufactured spring will slip within the metal adjuster (a-lock) and this prevents the harness from being securely tightened.

Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 Safety Campaign

Replacement part available for Primo Viaggio SIP 30/3012-22-2008

Peg Perego has taken this voluntary action because mold flash may exist on the car seat restraint harness adjuster covers manufactured between July 2007 and March 2008. (Mold flash is a situation where excess plastic leaks from the mold and creates an unintended edge on the component.) Peg Perego has received 91 complaints of cuts, scratches or abrasions on the feet or legs of bare-footed infants. In the reported incidents, the children were not seriously injured.

Although this part passed the Sharp Edge Test as mandated under federal safety testing procedures, the mold has been redesigned to eliminate the problem on subsequent production.

A new adjuster cover has been sent to all customers whose registered Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 car seats fall within the July 2007-March 2008 manufacturing window. To ensure no one is missed, Peg Perego will send a new adjuster cover free of charge to any customer who requests one by calling Peg Perego toll-free at 1-800-671-1701.

Child safety and comfort is Peg Perego's top priority. To ensure that it remains as such, Peg Perego is providing an Online Associate to facilitate customer interaction on the web. It is Peg Perego's goal to effectively and proactively communicate with the public through this medium.

Consequence: The sharp edge of the flash could cause cuts, scratches, or abrasions on the feet or legs of bare-footed infants.

Corrective Action: Peg Perego will notify registered owners and provide a free repair kit. This safety campaign began during April 2008. Owners may contact Peg Perego toll-free at 1-800-671-1701.

Notes: Peg Perego has not made a decision that these units contain a safety related defect, however Peg Perego is providing a free repair kit. Customers may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .

Britax Frontier Harness-2-Booster

Britax Announces Voluntary Safety Recall

CHARLOTTE, NC (December 12, 2008) - Britax Child Safety, Inc. announced today that it is conducting a voluntary safety recall on the Frontier combination Harness-2-Booster child restraints. The recall includes Frontier child restraints manufactured between April 1, 2008 and September 14, 2008 for Model #s E9L54E7, E9L54H6, E9L54H7 and E9L54M6 and between April 1, 2008 and September 17, 2008 on Model # E9L5490.

If the harness straps are repeatedly loosened one strap at a time, then the harness strap(s) may become detached from the metal yoke located on the back of the child seat. If the harness strap(s) becomes loose or detached then the condition can be corrected by inspecting the back of the child seat and reattaching the harness straps. If this condition occurs, the child may not be properly restrained, and in the event of a vehicle crash there could be an increased risk of injury.

To address this issue, Britax will provide two rubber caps that can be easily placed on the yoke slots to prevent the harness straps from detaching. The rubber caps have been specifically designed for the Frontier yoke to provide a secure fit and have been tested to verify their effectiveness.

No later than January 7, 2009, the rubber caps will be mailed with an instruction sheet to all registered Frontier child restraint owners with manufacturing dates prior to September 15 or 18, 2008. Additional caps will be made available to retailers with affected inventory of Frontiers manufactured prior to September 15 or 18, 2008. All Frontier child restraint owners should confirm whether their Frontier is affected by verifying the date of manufacture. Detailed instructions for locating this information can be found at www.FrontierRecall.com

Until consumers receive their remedy kit, they should confirm that their harness system is properly attached to the metal yoke and they may continue to safely use their child restraint.
Owners of the Frontier child restraint who have not registered their product or need to verify existing registration should contact the Britax information line, toll free at 1-800-683-2045 or visit www.FrontierRecall.com.

Graco ComfortSport

Make: Graco

Models: 8C04FRR (Comfort Sport), 8C04FRR2 (Comfort Sport)

Production Dates: November 1, 2006 - October 8, 2007

Noncompliance: Graco is recalling 43,994 Comfortsport (TM) convertible car seats, in the Frazier (TM) fashion, manufactured from November 1, 2006 through October 8, 2007. These seats were equipped with a large sized, supplemental pad or "body pillow" that partially obscures the child airbag warning label which is on the seat pad. The partial obscuring of this label fails to conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems".

Consequence: Serious injury could occur to the child should the seat be improperly placed in the vehicle.

Corrective Action: Graco will notify owners and instruct them to discard the supplemental pillows. The pillows are provided for comfort only and do not affect the seat's ability to protect your child in the event of a crash. The recall is expected to begin during December 2008. Owners may contact graco at 1-800-345-4109 or by e-mail at consumerservices@gracobaby.com.

Consequence: THE LATCH CONNECTOR LOCKING PAWL CAN CRACK ALLOWING THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT BASE TO DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE'S LATCH ANCHORS DURING A SEVERE CRASH. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE SEAT FAILING TO PROVIDE THE PROPER PROTECTION FOR ITS OCCUPANT.

Corrective Action: BABY TREND WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE BASE FREE OF CHARGE. ONLY RIGID LATCH-LOC MODEL CHILD RESTRAINTS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS RECALL. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY 2008. OWNERS CAN CONTACT BABY TREND TOLL-FREE AT 1-800-328-7363.

Chicco Key Fit, Key Fit 30, and Cortina Travel Systems

Consumer Safety Recall Information

Chicco USA, Inc., (Chicco), has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some of the bases for KeyFit and KeyFit 30 child restraint systems and Cortina Travel Systems manufactured between February 26, 2008 and March 17, 2008. This defect can prevent the base from being tightly secured to a vehicle when the lower LATCH attachments are used as the method of installation.

Specifically, when a defective base is installed with the lower LATCH attachment straps, the webbing used to tighten the base to the vehicle seat can slip through the adjustment lock. If the webbing were to slip during a vehicle crash, the base could move, possibly increasing the risk of injury.

Please Note: Your base can still be used safely when attached to the vehicle using the vehicle's safety belts instead of the lower LATCH attachments.

What You Should Do

To determine whether you have one of the defective bases, please look at the Serial Number, which can be found on the third line of a white label attached to the base. This Serial Number identifies the date your base was manufactured.

If the Serial Number is between 08 02 26 (corresponding to February 26, 2008) and 08 03 17 (corresponding to March 17, 2008), your base is covered by this recall. In that case, please:

Call 1-800-807-8817 to report the defective base.

Chicco will send a pre-paid envelope to you.

Cut the grey webbing that attaches the two black lower LATCH connectors. This will assure that no one will be able to use your base with the LATCH attachments in the future.

Send the two LATCH connectors and your name, mailing address, and phone number in the pre-paid envelope to:

Chicco USA
Att: KeyFit Recall
1835 Freedom Road
Lancaster, PA 17601

We will send a replacement base to the address you indicated within two weeks after we receive the lower LATCH connectors.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that you can continue to use the base safely by installing it with the vehicle's safety belts instead of the LATCH connectors.

For any questions about this recall, please call 1-800-807-8817 and have the serial number of your car seat base handy.

Child Safety Is Critically Important To Chicco
Chicco regrets this defect and any inconvenience this recall may cause you. The safety of your children is our main concern, and our goal is to work with you to resolve this issue quickly and to your satisfaction.

Evenflo Discovery Model 3021769Z & 3021854Z

If you purchased an Evenflo Model "302Z" Discovery Infant Car Seat during March 11-21, 2008 at a local Wal-Mart or Target Store, please contact Evenflo immediately.

Due to recent manufacturing variability, a small number of Evenflo Discovery Model 3021769Z and 3021854Z car seats may have shipped without complete assembly of the red release handle located on the back of the seat. Under certain conditions, this may cause the seat to separate from its base, possibly resulting in serious injury.

The affected Discovery seats were built on February 4, 2008 with model numbers 3021769Z and 3021854Z.

How to Check Your Discovery Car Seat
1. Turn the seat upside down as shown in Figure 1 below: (Figure 1 on website)
2. Locate the model number and manufacturing date as shown in Figure 2 below: (Figure 2 on website). Note that the label is located on the bottom of the seat toward the foot end of the seat.

Only model numbers 3021769Z and 3021854Z built on February 4, 2008 are subject to this notice.

If your Discovery model has a different model number or was not manufactured on February 4, 2008, please disregard this notice.

If you own a Discovery Model 3021769Z or 3021854Z that was manufactured on February 4, 2008:

1. Contact Evenflo directly at 1-800-233-5921 for a free replacement Discovery seat and base.
2. While awaiting your replacement car seat, you may continue to use your Discovery seat without the base.
3. The responsibility for this action rests solely with Evenflo. Please do not return the seat to your local retailer.

Exton, PA - March 14, 2008 - Graco Children's Products Inc. today announced a Safety Notice regarding a labeling non-compliance issue for a limited number of its CarGo Booster Car Seats manufactured from January 9, 2007 through March 3, 2008.

The labeling non-compliance issue notice is the result of an incorrect NHTSA vehicle safety hotline number that appears on models of the following CarGo Booster Car Seats: 8487BELI, 8487SMP, 8487WBR, 8686ROS, 8689FAR, 8D01ZPH, 8D02SYC, 8D03WIK, 8D04SDN, 8D05NWY, and 8D10CCE. The model number and date of manufacture can be found on the lower back of the car seat. These seats were sold in mass merchandisers, specialty retailers and department stores throughout the United States.

If a consumer calls the incorrect phone number printed on the affected models, they will hear a message that the number is not in service at this time. We recommend consumers check their instruction manual as the NHTSA hotline number is printed correctly there. The correct NHTSA vehicle safety hotline phone number is 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), and their Web site can be accessed at www.nhtsa.gov. Consumers can also contact Graco by calling 1-800-345-4109 or by visiting www.gracobaby.com for further information.

To remedy the affected product, a correct sticker kit is being provided to consumers who have registered their car seat with Graco.

Consumers who own but have not registered their CarGo Booster Car Seat should call 1-800-345-4109 Monday - Friday between 8 am and 5 pm EST or visit www.gracobaby.com 24 hours a day to determine whether their CarGo Booster Car Seat may be affected by this announcement. When calling Graco, consumers should have the model number and date of manufacture of the car seat readily available.

This safety announcement does not affect the ability of the child restraint to protect a child in the case of a motor vehicle crash.

Combi USA Safety Recall Notice

Dear Combi Centre, Centre ARB and Shuttle Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Combi USA, Inc. of Fort Mill, SC has decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall of the Centre, Centre ARB and Shuttle (Model # 8065, 8074, 8086, 8087and 8520) and associated Travel Systems containing Centre and Shuttle (Model # 4400, 4515, 4520). This recall includes the entire production of this model from October 2005 through December 2007. No other models are affected.

Reason For The Recall
Combi USA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada recently conducted numerous laboratory tests (in many cases these tests exceeded the requirements of the current US standard) to analyze the overall effectiveness of the Centre and Shuttle car seats in motor vehicle frontal crashes. This test data revealed that the car seat could potentially become separated from its base under these conditions.

Please be assured that all Centre and Shuttle car seats have consistently met existing government safety standards. However, because of the separation during testing of vehicles in impact frontal crashes, Combi is conducting a voluntary recall campaign with the intent of providing car seats with enhanced protection under frontal impact crash conditions. Combi USA, Inc. has received no reports of injuries to date regarding the Centre, Centre ARB and Shuttle Infant Restraints. Our first priority at Combi is to provide the highest level of safety and quality for the children we protect.

What Action Should You Take?
We urge you to contact us to obtain the free retrofit kit. To place an order, please visit our website at www.combi-intl.com, or call Combi Consumer Relations Department at 1-800-543-7734 Monday through Thursday between 8AM and 5PM EST, Friday between 8AM and 3PM. If you have passed your Centre and/or Shuttle Infant Restraint along to a friend or neighbor, please share this information with them. You will not incur any shipping costs and your order will arrive within 6-8 weeks. In the meantime, Combi recommends that consumers use the Combi Centre and Shuttle without the base until the retrofit kit is installed. Please refer to your instruction manual for proper installation without the base. These seats are designed for and safe to use without the base.

Questions
Please visit our website at www.combi-intl.com, or call Combi Consumer Relations Department at 1-800-543-7734 with questions concerning this issue. Please have your Centre and Shuttle Infant Restraint in front of you when you access our website or call.

If you believe that we failed or were unable to remedy this issue without charge or within a reasonable time, you may wish to write to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E. Washington, DC 20590 or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hotline at (888-327-4236) or visit NHTSA's website at www.nhtsa.gov.

We apologize for this inconvenience, but we're taking this action in the interest of your child's safety and to ensure your trust in our products.

Production Dates: This recall includes the entire production of these models from October 2005 through December 2007.

Defect: In the event of a frontal crash, the car seat could potentially become separated from its base. Should the seat separate from the base in a crash, the child will not be adequately protected possibly resulting in injury.

Corrective Action: Owners should contact Combi to obtain a free retrofit kit. Until the caregiver receives the free retrofit kit, Combi recommends that the car seat be used without the base. Owners may contact Combi Consumer Relations Department at 1-800-543-7734 or visit their website at www.combi-intl.com.

RECARO Como and Signo Child Restraint Systems

February, 2008

RECARO has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in Como and Signo child restraint systems manufactured prior to December 18, 2007.

During product evaluation and feedback from the field, it was discovered that the harness may become disconnected from the harness connector when a child is placed in or removed from the child seat. If the harness becomes disconnected and a vehicle crash occurs, your child may not be securely fastened to their child seat and may sustain an injury.

There have been no reported injuries.

To remedy this condition, RECARO is issuing a safety recall kit containing two rubber caps for installation on the harness connector and an instruction sheet. The use of the rubber caps will close up the gaps that will allow the harness to disconnect. The instruction sheet provides the necessary steps to install and remove the rubber caps when the head restraint must be adjusted (Como) or when the trim cover is removed to wash it.

RECARO owners should contact the customer service department at 1-800-8-RECARO with any questions regarding this issue or installation of the caps.

VANDALIA, Ohio - February 1, 2008 - Evenflo today announced it is implementing a voluntary safety recall of its Discovery Infant Car Seat Models 390, 391, 534, 552. Approximately one million units were produced beginning April 2005. This is based on recent laboratory tests conducted by Evenflo and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which show that this car seat could potentially become separated from its base in high impact side collisions similar to those in the tests. As a precautionary measure, Evenflo is providing current owners of these models with a free supplemental dual-hook fastener that has proven that the seat remains attached to the base in the event of such collisions. Additionally, Evenflo is taking steps to develop future models of Discovery with enhanced safety performance. These new Discovery models will be available to consumers starting in the second quarter, 2008.

"We are parents, too, and protecting children is our core mission at Evenflo. While our current Discovery car seat models have performed well to protect infants in actual side impact automobile collisions without any reports of serious injury or death since they were introduced, we want to take further steps to protect the safety of children who use our products," said Rob Matteucci, CEO of Evenflo. "These lab tests do show there is potential for the base to detach from the seat in high impact side collisions, so we are recommending that all Discovery owners use the supplemental dual-hook fastener, available free from Evenflo."

To order the supplemental dual-hook fastener, Discovery 390, 391, 534, 552 model owners should call Evenflo at 1-800-356-2229 between 8 AM and 5 PM EST or visit www.evenflo.com/Discovery. No shipping costs will be incurred and orders will arrive in approximately 3 to 4 weeks. In the meantime, consumers should continue to use their Discovery infant car seat and there is no need to return it to retailers.

TEAM-TEX AMERICA, INC. 1-877-912-1313

Noncompliance: The belt routing label with the "horizontal reference line" is incorrectly placed on the child restraint system which fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." Improperly routed belts could result in injury to the child in the event of a crash.

Corrective Action: Owners will be mailed a correct label along with placement instructions. Team Tex can be contacted at 1-877-912-1313.

Graco Children's Products Inc.

Model(s): Graco ComfortSport

Production Dates: October 22, 2007 - October 22, 2007

Noncompliance: Certain Graco Comfortsport child restraint systems, Model 8C02MRC2, manufactured on October 22, 2007, were not certified to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, 'Child Restraint Systems.' These seats were produced with convoluted foam that was 1.5" thick instead of the 1" thick foam that Graco specified and tested. Seats with 1.5" foam have not been tested so it is unclear as to what impact this will have on compliance to the standard and on child seat safety.

Corrective Action: Graco will notify owners and replace the affected seats free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. Owners can contact Graco at 1-800-345-4109.

Columbus, IN December 17, 2007- Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) is announcing a voluntary safety recall for certain Cosco Touriva child restraints manufactured from September 28, 2004 through September 20, 2007. There is a potential for the elastic straps that secure the fabric pad to the child restraint shell to come loose and become accessible to the child. The child could then loop the elastic strap around portions of his or her body. There have been no serious injuries reported.

The model number and date of manufacture may be found on a sticker located on the side or back of the child restraint.

DJG will contact all registered owners and at the same time will provide them with a free repair kit. Those consumers who have not registered their product or do not receive the repair kit should visit www.djgusa.com or call 1-888-698-6681 to order a free repair kit. There is no need to return the affected seats to the retailer.

DJG encourages parents to obtain and install the repair kit as soon as possible. Parents may continue to use the child restraint as directed in their instruction manual.

RECARO Como Child Seat - "LOCK-OFF"/3-PT GUIDE Information

November 2007

CONSUMER ADVISORY - NOT A RECALL

To assist consumers in understanding the function of the 3-point guide (commonly known as a
lock-off), RECARO North America has updated the terminology used in product manuals. The
term "lock-off" has been replaced with the term "3-point guide", which is a more accurate description of purpose and function of this part in the industry. The purpose of the guide is to improve the child restraint system geometry for certain vehicle applications and does not create any safety advantage or disadvantage whether called a guide or lock-off. The crash safety performance of the Como seat is not affected.

The 3-point guide is not a safety feature; it is used to aid consumers in proper installation and positioning of the child restraint system. There are some applications where proper installation may be slightly difficult, due to a less compatible vehicle seat or seat belt. Child restraint geometry may benefit from using the 3-point guide mechanism in these instances, rather than over tightening the vehicle belt system.

RECARO North America has determined that certain Como seats manufactured prior to Sept. 17th 2007 may have a variance in the friction strength of the 3-point guide. If you feel as a consumer that installation of your child seat is difficult in your vehicle application, RECARO can provide you with a locking clip at no cost, which can be used with your vehicle seatbelt system. You may contact RECARO by calling 1-800-8-RECARO or via email at childseats@recarousa.com. RECARO will ship you a locking clip along with installation instructions free of charge. Please provide the model, serial number and manufacturing date so our customer service representatives can better assist you and help determine if your child seat would benefit from a locking clip.

Safety Notification - 2007 Stand-alone SnugRide Infant Car Seats

Graco has determined that the backing of the seat pad on certain stand-alone SnugRide Infant car seats manufactured in the United States, may be prone to deterioration or tearing, especially after washing. If this occurs, children occupying the car seat may be able to remove the padding material from the back of the seat pad and place it in their mouths, posing a potential choking hazard.

This notice does NOT affect SnugRide car seats sold with a stroller as part of a Travel System.

This issue does NOT affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the occupant in the event of a motor vehicle crash.

Check the model number and manufacture date on your car seat to see if your car seat is affected by this notice. If you do not know the model number and date of manufacture of your car seat, you can find it on the label on the back of the car seat. Click here for a sample.

Graco will be sending a letter to all registered owners of potentially affected SnugRide car seats. This letter will explain the replacement kit program and how consumers can order a replacement kit. If you have not registered your car seat, please click here to register online.

Until receipt of a replacement kit, you can continue to use your car seat, but Graco recommends that you monitor the seat pad on a periodic basis to ensure the integrity of the pad and not unnecessarily wash the pad while you await receipt of the replacement kit. This issue does NOT affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the occupant in the event of a motor vehicle crash.

MIA MODA SAFETY RECALL NOTICE

November 2007

Dear miaModa Viva Owner,

This notice is being sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. MiaModa, Inc. (miaModa) has decided that certain miaModa Viva Infant Restraint Systems and separately sold Viva Infant Restraint Bases manufactured between December 19, 2006 and February 6, 2007 fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems". According to our records, your child restraint may be affected.

During an internal evaluation of the Viva Infant Restraint System, miaModa found that during certain lower anchorage (LATCH) installations of the Viva Infant Restraint System base in motor vehicles, the lower anchor connector adjuster assembly may interfere with the connection of the infant carrier to the restraint base. This situation occurs after tightening the lower anchor connector to ensure a secure fit to the motor vehicle lower. Potential interference between the infant carrier and lower connector adjuster can occur if the lower anchor connector adjuster assembly is located on top of the base.

When the infant carrier is positioned in the restraint base, even with the interference, an audible click may be heard indicating a secure connection. Pulling up on the carrier handle to confirm may also indicate a secure connection. Unless all connection points (two in front and two in rear) are firmly connected, in the event of a severe crash, the carrier may become detached from the base, resulting in potential serious injury or death to the child.

Additionally, registration cards were not provided with the Viva Infant Restraint System or the separately sold bases. Failure to provide registration cards is a noncompliance to the requirements under FMVSS No. 213, as the owners may not be able to be reached in the event of a recall situation. Failure to provide recall notices to owners may cause the owner to continue to use the product subject to a recall, resulting in potential injury or death to the child.

miaModa is providing to all owners, on or before December 3, 2007, a repair kit to address the lower anchor connector interference. We urge you to install the replacement lower anchor connector assembly, per the instructions that will be enclosed with the repair kit, as soon as possible. However, if you are unable to immediately exchange the assembly, you may continue to use your Viva Infant Restraint System by installing the carrier and base or the carrier alone using the vehicle lap or lap-shoulder belt system.

This notice only affects the child restraint installation in motor vehicles. The Viva Infant Carrier may continue to be used as an infant carrier alone, as part of miaModa stroller travel systems, or as an infant carrier and base installed with the vehicle belt.

As well, miaModa urges you to adhere the serial number labels that will be included in the repair kit to the infant carrier and restraint base assembly as illustrated in the instructions to be enclosed with the repair kit. Instructions will also be available online at http://www.miamodainc.com or you may contact miaModa's Customer Service Hotline at 1-866-642-6632, or register online at http://www.miamodainc.com.

Please contact miaModa's Customer Service Hotline at 1-866-642-6632 with questions concerning this notice. If you call, be sure to have the model number and manufacture date from your restraint(s). You can get further information on our website at http://www.miamodainc.com.

BRITAX ANNOUNCES COMPANION INFANT CARRIER USER GUIDE UPDATE

In an effort to continually improve our instructional materials, Britax has updated the Companion User Guide. The purpose of this update is to provide further clarification on the adjustment of the buckle strap position and maximum height for infant carrier use.

Buckle Strap Positioning
The Companion features two buckle strap positions in order to accommodate infants between four and 22 pounds. The inner position should be used for infants weighing less than 11 pounds. Once the child has reached a weight of 11 pounds, move the buckle strap to the outer position and maintain this buckle position for the remainder of use with that child. Please note that you may move the buckle strap to the outer position prior to your child reaching a weight of 11 pounds, if your childâ€™s growth and comfort necessitates this adjustment.

Maximum Height for Use
A child has exceeded the height requirement for the Companion when the top of the head is less than one inch from the top of the child restraint or the childâ€™s height exceeds 30 inches (76 cm).

Consumers who own a Companion child restraint and have registered their restraint will be sent an updated user guide and product labels to provide further clarification on product usage. Those consumers that have not registered their child restraint should contact Britax Consumer Services at 1-888-427-4829 Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 4:45 pm EST and Fridays from 8:30 am to 1:45 pm EST or register their product online at www.BritaxUSA.com.

BRITAX ANNOUNCES SAFETY RECALL

CHARLOTTE, NC (October 19, 2007) â€“ Britax Child Safety, Inc. announced today that it is conducting a safety recall on the Marathon child restraint, model numbers E9L06, E9W06, and E906. The recall includes production of the Marathon child restraint from May 23, 2006 through July 28, 2006 and with a top tether lot number of KGR 01 A.

Under certain circumstances, if a child exceeds 50 pounds and the vehicle manufacturer allows use of the top tether above 50 pounds, upon vehicle impact, the top tether hook may open and have the potential to release from the tether anchor. In the event of a crash, the child may move forward further than allowed under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. To date, no injuries have been reported or linked to this issue.

To address this issue, Britax will send all registered owners of the Marathon child restraint manufactured between May 23, 2006 and July 28, 2006 a top tether hook replacement. All Marathon child restraint owners should confirm their Marathon is affected by verifying the model number, date of manufacturer and top tether hook lot number of KGR 01 A as follows:

1. Is your Britax Marathon manufactured between May 23, 2006 and July 28, 2006?

If YES, proceed to #2.

Triumph Foam Liner

VANDALIA, OHIO, September 28, 2007 - Evenflo Company, Inc., is announcing a voluntary recall for certain models of the Triumph convertible child restraint made between September 6, 2001 and October 31, 2005. Evenflo discovered that portions of the cloth cover can be pulled back exposing the foam liner in an area that is reachable by a child occupant. A child inside the seat may break off and potentially choke on a piece of the foam liner. This recall does not include any Triumph models made on or after November 1, 2005 as these products have a different design.

Evenflo will be offering a free upgrade kit to owners of affected model Triumph child restraints manufactured before November 1, 2005 and beginning with model numbers 264, 359 or 389. The upgrade kit provides a protective sleeve to cover the foam liner. The model number and date of manufacture may be found on a white label on the lower, back side of the child restraint. Triumph child restraints manufactured on or after November 1, 2005 or with model numbers other than 264, 359 or 389 do not require the kit.

This matter does not affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the occupant in a motor vehicle crash. Product owners can continue to use their Triumph as a child restraint. However, Evenflo recommends that they monitor their child on a periodic basis to ensure that they do not remove the existing cloth cover from the side of the seat until the protective sleeve has been installed.

Defect: These seats used six mechanical attachments to hold down the cloth cover. Some children could pull back the cloth cover in the approximate area adjacent to the occupant's thighs, and thereby access the foam liner. A child may break off and potentially choke on a piece of the foam liner.

Corrective Action: Evenflo will send written notification about the recall to each registered owner of the affected Triumph units and offer a free kit to cover the foam liner. The recall is expected to begin early in October 2007. Owners can contact Evenflo toll-free at 1-800-490-7591 between 8am and 5pm EST.

Dorel Juvenile Group Announces a Voluntary Safety Recall

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, August 30, 2007

Columbus, IN August 30, 2007- Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) is issuing a voluntary safety recall for certain Cosco, Safety 1st and Eddie Bauer brand child restraint systems manufactured during November 2003 through December 2005. Although no injuries have been reported, there is a potential for the harness adjustment strap to loosen during use. If this were to occur, the harness may be loose around the child, possibly increasing the risk of injury in a crash. We feel that it is important to replace the harness adjustment strap.

The model number and date of manufacture may be found on a sticker located on the side or back of the child restraint system.

DJG will contact all registered owners and provide them with information on how to obtain a free repair kit to replace the harness adjustment strap. Those consumers who have not registered their product should visit www.djgusa.com or call 800-219-0509 to order a free repair kit. The affected seats should not be returned to the retailer.

DJG encourages parents to obtain and install the repair kit as soon as possible. Parents may continue to use the child restraint system as directed in their instruction manual. Parents should be sure to adjust the harness adjuster strap snugly each time they put their child in the child restraint system. If there is any difficulty adjusting the harness adjustment strap, or it does not remain tight, DJG suggests using a different child restraint system until the repair kit has been installed.

To check for harness slippage:
(1) Fully tighten the harness, (2) pull on the harness straps without pressing or lifting the harness adjustment lever. If movement occurs, the harness is experiencing slippage.

Defect: The harness adjustment strap can loosen while in use. In the event of a vehicle crash, the child may not be properly restrained, possibly resulting in an increased risk of injury.

Corrective Action: DJG will contact all registered owners and provide them with information on how to obtain a free repair kit to replace the harness adjustment strap. Those consumers who have not registered their product should visit www.djgusa.com or call 800-219-0509 to order a free repair kit.

Graco Announces Safety Recall Notice for ComfortSport Car Seat

Exton, PA - August 23, 2007

Graco Children's Products Inc. today announced a Safety Notice for the ComfortSport 5-point harness convertible car seat. On some of the 276,921 ComfortSport car seats manufactured in Ohio from January 2, 2007 through July 31, 2007, the Lower Anchorage belt may have been misrouted during the assembly process. As a result, the seat back angle can exceed 70 degrees in a frontal crash. This increased rotation of the car seat may increase the risk of injury. No injuries have been reported related to this issue.

This Safety Notice may affect ComfortSport car seats with the following model numbers: 8629TWL, 8630MTR, 8631DFT, 8631DRA, 8632PSO, 8635TAC, 8639COS, 8C00BLG, 8C00DMN, 8C00GRP, 8C00LNW, 8C00MID, 8C00TMB, 8C01SVD, 8C01WTN, 8C02MGI, 8C02MRC, 8C03HAL, 8C03WCF, 8C04FRR, 8433FOF. The model number and date of manufacture can be found on the label on the back of the car seat. These seats were sold in mass merchandisers and department stores from January 2007 through August 2007.

Graco will mail, to all known ComfortSport owners with a seat manufactured between January 2, 2007 and July 31, 2007, instructions to correct this misrouting. In addition, Graco will email these instructions to those consumers who provided their email address to Graco. Consumers who own but have not registered their ComfortSport car seat should call 1-800-345-4109 Monday - Friday between 8 am & 5 pm EST or visit www.gracobaby.com 24 hours a day to determine whether their ComfortSport car seat may be affected and to obtain instructions on how to correctly route the Lower Anchorage belt. When calling Graco, consumers should have the model number and date of manufacture of the car seat readily available.

Consumers should not use the seat in the rear facing position with LATCH until the belt routing has been inspected and, if necessary, corrected. The vehicle seatbelt can be used instead of LATCH in the meantime. However, consumers who have rerouted their Lower Anchorage belt according to the instruction manual for use in the forward-facing mode are not affected by this Safety Notice.

During production, the lower anchorage belt in some of these child restraint systems was incorrectly routed. As a result, when these child restraint systems are used in the rear-facing mode, attached with the lower anchorage belt, they fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." The seat back angle of the child restraint system can exceed 70 degrees in a frontal crash. This increased rotation may increase the risk of injury to the child.

Corrective Action: Graco will notify registered owners and provide detailed instructions for examining the lower anchorage belt routing and, if necessary, reconfigure the incorrectly routed belt. The recall is expected to begin during August 2007. Owners can contact Graco at 800-345-4109.

SAFETY RECALL NOTICE

Britax Child Safety, Inc. has announced that it is conducting a safety recall on the Decathlon child restraint, Model Number E9L47. The recall includes production of the Decathlon from February 12, 2005 through July 31, 2007.

Under certain circumstances, when the harness adjuster strap is pulled from an extreme side angle, the bezel may separate from the child restraint shell allowing the adjuster to move out of position inside the shell housing. Under these circumstances, caregivers may experience some difficulty while trying to properly adjust the harness. If this were to occur, the harness may be loose around the child resulting in an increased risk of injury.

To address this issue, Britax will send all owners two push rivet fasteners to secure the adjuster to the child restraint. This quick modification will prevent the possibility of having the adjuster move out of position inside of the shell housing. Registered owners of the Decathlon child restraint will automatically be notified and sent complete instructions and push rivet fasteners by mail beginning August 17, 2007.

Owners of the Decathlon that have not registered their product should contact the Britax information line, toll free at 1-800-683-2045 or www.DecathlonRecall.com to order a repair kit.

Evenflo Company Statement

Evenflo Embrace Infant Car Seat/Carriers Product Recall

At Evenflo, we take reports of problems related to our products very seriously. When we heard about issues related to the handle of our Embrace Infant Car Seat/Carriers, we began to investigate the potential causes and evaluated the handle mechanism. We ultimately took pro-active measures to redesign the handle latch mechanism to improve its strength.

Working in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), we have issued a recall of Embrace models made before April 8, 2006.

We have alerted all our retail partners to this recall and are taking pro-active measures to ensure that consumers who own one of the recalled products immediately stop using the handle of the infant carrier until they are able to install a free repair kit that they can order through a toll-free 800 number or through our dedicated recall Web site, www.embracehandle.com.

The Embrace Infant Car Seat/Carriers meet the federal government crash test safety standard and can continue to be used as a car seat when secured in a vehicle. A car seat that is installed and used correctly is the most effective safety device available for young children in automobiles.

BRITAX CHILD SAFETY, INC. 1-888-4BRITAX (888-427-4829)

Noncompliance: These seats were produced with an incorrect label sewn to the fabric cover which fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraints Systems." In place of the "WARNING! Death or serious injury can occur" warning label, an airbag warning label was attached. The airbag warning label is not required for the Regent Classic restraint as it is a forward-facing only youth restraint system.

Corrective Action: Owners that have filed a registration card with Britax will automatically receive a replacement cover. Owners or caregivers who have not filed a registration form should contact Britax Consumer Services Department at 1-888-4britax (1-888-427-4829) or via email at regentcoverreplacement@britaxusa.com. The recall is expected to begin on March 9, 2007.

I420 FUO
I420 MAR

The manufacturing dates are 5/7/06, 5/13/06 and 5/15/06.

During its rigorous on-going testing, Compass discovered a technical non-compliance.

Compass will be sending registered consumers and those who contact us a free repair kit with instructions on how to correct this problem.

COMPASS 1-888-899-2229

Noncompliance: The crotch anchor which is located on the bottom of the seat was installed incorrectly which fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." In the event of a vehicle crash, the crotch anchor can become dislodged allowing the child to travel up the seat back causing breakage in the upper seat back and a seat back rotation, possibly resulting in serious injury to the child.

Corrective Action: Compass will notify owners and will mail a repair kit along with repair instructions free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during December 2006. Owners may contact compass toll-free at 1-888-899-2229.

Some consumers have reported complaints that the handle trim screws on the recalled car seats can loosen, resulting in loose screws that could potentially present a choking hazard to the child. There have been no injuries reported.

Only those seats manufactured between July 26, 2005 and February 28, 2006, are affected.

Dorel Juvenile Group USA will notify all registered owners.

Britax Voluntarily Recalls Companion® Child Restraint (Model E9L14)

CHARLOTTE, NC Sept. 29/PR Newswire/

Britax Child Safety, Inc. announced today they are conducting a voluntary recall of Companion child restraints (model #E9L14) that fail to comply with safety regulations. The recall includes units of this model produced from October 31, 2003 through June 2, 2004. No other model is affected.

Evaluation has shown that a small percentage (1%) of the carriers may have been incorrectly assembled. With the incorrect assembly, one or both of two tabs on the bottom of the carrier may not be properly seated. If the tabs are not properly seated, in the event of a crash, the carrier may rotate in the base beyond the limit allowed by law. In this situation, there is the increased risk of injury. No accidents or injuries have been reported.

If your carrier has the incorrect assembly, you may continue to use the carrier without the base until you receive the new restraint system. Proper instructions on installing the carrier in the car without the base are provided in the product users’ guide. Installation instructions are also available online at http://www.britaxusa.com.

To determine whether your restraint has an incorrect assembly, you will need to visually inspect the bottom of the carrier. A recall notice with detailed instructions on how to inspect your carrier will be provided to all registered owners of the Companion, model E9L14. Britax will provide owners of an affected unit with a new Companion Child Restraint System. Consumers should contact Britax Consumer Services at 1-888-4BRITAX (1-888-427-4829) to determine if their restraint is affected and to obtain the new restraint system. The affected seats should not be returned to the Britax retailer.

Owners of this model who did not return a registration card are urged to call Britax Consumer Services at 1-888-4BRITAX (1-888-427-4829). Non-registered owners will need to provide Britax with the following information: Name, address, daytime telephone number, model name, model number, manufacturing date, and batch number. Model and manufacturing information can be obtained from the label affixed to the back of the carrier.

Consumers with questions should contact Britax at 1-888-4BRITAX (1-888-427-4829) or visit the Britax website at www.britaxusa.com .

Revised November 2, 2005 Notice:

Evenflo Company, Inc., is announcing a consumer safety campaign for the
TributeTM child restraint and will be offering free replacement units to
owners. Evenflo discovered that some products may not meet performance specifications
due to faulty processing. Defective parts could increase the likelihood
of damage to the child restraint in certain motor vehicle collisions.

Replacements are available for TributeTM car seats manufactured between
September 8 and September 22, 2005. The child restraints have model numbers
beginning with "378" or "379." The model
number and date of manufacture may be found on a white label on the lower,
back side of the child restraint. TributeT car seats manufactured before
or after the affected period are not involved.

TributeTM child restraints currently manufactured by Evenflo have been
modified to eliminate any issues and meet or exceed all applicable safety
standards. There is no need for a replacement car seat with respect any
Tribute child restraint seats manufactured before September 8, 2005 or after
September 22, 2005.

Initial October 11, 2005 Release:

Evenflo Company, Inc. is announcing a recall applicable to a limited number
of Tribute™ child restraint seats and will be offering a free upgrade
kit to owners of these seats. Evenflo has discovered that certain Tribute
child restraint seats manufactured only between September 8, 2005 and September
22, 2005 may not meet certain performance specifications. Tribute child
restraint seats manufactured during this time period may be susceptible
to increased damage in certain motor vehicle collisions. The kit ensures
the car seat meets or exceeds all performance specifications and applicable
safety standards.

This kit is only needed for Tribute™ child restraints manufactured
between September 8 and September 22, 2005 that have model numbers beginning
with the three digits "378" or "379." The
model number and date of manufacture may be found on a white label on the
lower, backside of the child restraint. Tribute™ child restraints
manufactured before September 8 or after September 22, 2005 do not require
the kit.

Tribute™ child restraints currently manufactured by Evenflo have
been modified to eliminate any issues and meet or exceed all applicable
safety standards. There is no need for a kit with respect any Tribute child
restraint seats manufactured before September 8, 2005 or after September
22, 2005.

three minutes to install. To receive a free kit visit http://www.tributecarseat.com or

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced today
that Combi USA, Inc. will conduct a safety recall for its "Avatar Model
8100" child safety seats. The recall involves the entire production
of this model from November 2003 through May 2004.

As part of a new system for child seat installation, newly manufactured
child safety seats must include attachments that fasten to permanent anchors
in a vehicle's back seat, located where the cushions meet. This system is
known as "LATCH" (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children). In the case of the Avatar seats being recalled, the lower attachment
straps fail to meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 213 for child restraint systems. If the child seat is attached using
the LATCH system and a crash occurs, the attachment straps could detach
from the vehicle's lower anchors-possibly resulting in a serious or even
fatal injury to the child.

Registered owners of these child safety seats will automatically receive
a repair kit along with repair instructions in the mail. Those not registered
need to request the kit from the manufacturer. Until the latch belt assembly
is replaced, Combi USA advises owners to use the seat only with the vehicle's
safety belts and not with the LATCH system.

Owners who do not receive the free kit within a reasonable time should
contact Combi USA toll free at 800-992-6624 or visit Combi's website at
http://www.combi-intl.com.

Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall campaign
should call NHTSA's toll free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 or
check NHTSA's website at www.safercar.gov.

Avatar Recall 05/02/2005

After further investigation into the Consumer Reports Article, May 2005
issue with regard to the Avatar, Combi was able to determine a non-compliance
to the FMVSS 213 Standard, Child Restraint Systems. Internal tests were
conducted after the release of this article, and Combi found one seat out
of the seats tested to be non-compliant. Combi USA recently contacted the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to inform them of the non-compliance.
As a result Combi along with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
has voluntarily initiated a recall campaign. We are in the process of analyzing
and testing a possible remedy kit before releasing it for distribution to
consumers.

We continue to urge consumers to cease using the Avatar Convertible Restraint
with LATCH installation and immediately begin to use the restraint with
the standard vehicle belt.

Combi would like to commend Consumer Reports Magazine of Consumers Union
for their on-going support during this internal investigation.

Combi will release further information as it becomes available. We apologize
for this inconvenience.

If you have any further questions, click on this link to send an email cs@combi-intl.com.\

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Britax Child Safety, Inc. is
conducting a recall of the Super Elite child restraint (E9031) as certain
restraints may contain a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. The
recall includes the entire production of this model from April 2001 through
August 2002. No other model is affected.

Evaluation has shown that under certain circumstances after prolonged
use, the harness adjuster tab may begin to stick. If the adjuster tab sticks
in the open position, the adjuster strap webbing may slip within the adjuster
that controls the tightness of the harness and allow the harness to loosen.
In this situation, there is the increased risk of injury. No accidents or
injuries have been reported to date.

Britax will provide owners with an adjuster strap webbing guide enabling
them to prevent the sticking by limiting the movement of the adjuster webbing.
The kit, containing the webbing guide and installation instructions, is
expected to be available on or before July 20, 2005. All owners of these
restraints who returned a registration card will automatically receive the
kit. The affected seats should not be returned to the Britax retailer.

Because the sticking adjuster tab may develop over time due to repeated
use, it is important to check for a secure harness before each use. All
owners of the Super Elite restraints are urged to receive and install the
adjuster strap webbing guide.

Owners of these models who did not return a registration card are urged
to call Britax Consumer Services at 1-800-683-2045 to provide information
so they can also receive the adjuster strap webbing guide and installation
instructions. Non-registered owners will need to provide Britax with the
following information: Name, address, daytime telephone number, model name,
model number, manufacturing date, and batch. Model and manufacturing information
can be obtained from the label affixed to the restraint.

Consumers with questions should contact Britax at 1-800-683-2045 or visit
the Britax website at http://www.britaxusa.com.

Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc has received complaints that if the harness
is not properly tightened, the infant seat can experience web movement,
or web creep. In the event of a crash the child may not be properly restrained,
increasing the risk of injury. No injuries have been reported.

The models involved in the recall were sold only as travel systems (with
a stroller) and are as follows:

Only those restraints manufactured between August 19, 2003 and October
20, 2004 are affected. It is important to note the GB1B line code located
next to the model number on the child restraint indicates that the unit
was manufactured by Good Baby and is the only line included in the recall.
Any line code other than GB1B, such as DE1B, is not included in the recall.

Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc will mail a free repair kit consisting of two
harness clips along with installation instructions to owners who returned
their registration cards. Owners who have not registered their product should
contact Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc toll free 800-881-0570) Monday through
Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST, visit the company's website at djgusa.com
or contact the company by fax at 800-207-8182. You may also email Dorel
at designerrecall@djgusa.com. If you would like to discuss any other issue
with your Designer 22, such as missing parts or any problem with the handle,
please contact our Consumer Relations Department at 1-800-544-1108. Please
do not return your travel system to the store where you purchased it.

NHTSA encourages parents to obtain and install the repair kit as soon
as possible, so that the child seat provides maximum protection for the
child. In the meantime, parents are advised to make sure that the seat is
properly adjusted while in use. Parents should continue to use the seat
while waiting to receive and install the repair kit because the seat still
provides better protection than an adult seat belt or no restraint.

Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall campaign
should call NHTSA's toll free Auto Safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or check

Dorel Juvenile Group,
Inc. To Conduct A Safety Recall For The Dreamride Child Restraint System

NHTSA 03-05, Monday, January 31, 2005

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that
the Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. (DJG) will conduct a safety recall campaign
for certain rear-facing DreamRide child restraint systems. The affected
systems are Model 22-001FSM, manufactured between December 1, 2003, and
April 28, 2004.

The restraint system did not perform correctly during a NHTSA-mandated
compliance test. As a consequence, children in these types of systems may
not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

Owners are being instructed to discontinue use in the rear-facing mode
and use the restraint only as a car bed Car beds allow small infants unable
to ride in a semi-reclined position because of medical reasons to instead
ride lying down. However, if an owner needs a rear-facing child restraint,
DJG will provide a free replacement unit.

For further information, or to receive a warning label for the system,
owners should contact DJG's toll-free number at 866-611-3022 Monday through
Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM EST. Customers may also send a fax to 800-207-8182
or e-mail DJG: dreamride@djgusa.com.

NHTSA also encourages parents who have not registered their child restraint
system to do so as soon as possible so the manufacturer can contact owners
of safety recalls in the future.

Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall campaign
should call NHTSA's toll-free Auto Safety Hotline (888-327-4236), or check
NHTSA's website, www.safercar.gov.

Mercedes-Benz To Conduct A Safety
Recall For Sicartex Kiddy Top Safe Child Restraints

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today announced
that Mercedes-Benz is conducting a safety recall campaign of Sicartex Kiddy
Top Safe child restraints manufactured from March 1 to November 30, 2003.

The lower attachment arm of the child seat may not be strong enough to
hold in the event of a crash. If the child seat is attached to the vehicle
with this lower attachment arm, the seat could detach from the vehicle and
cause serious injury to the child occupant.

Parents and caregivers should immediately replace this seat with an appropriate
new child seat and return their Kiddy Top Safe child seat to any authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer for a full refund. The vehicle's seat belt should be
used to secure the child seat until a replacement seat is obtained. Consumers
should mention the Recall Campaign #2004 120005.

Owners are strongly urged to register their child seat with the manufacturer
in case of future safety recalls. Please contact your authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer for further information toll-free at 1-800-367-6372.

Britax Announces Recall of Child Restraints

FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Britax Announces Recall of Child Restraints

- Strap Replacement
Kit to be Provided to All Owners -

Charlotte, NC August 9, 2004 - Britax Child Safety, Inc. is conducting
a recall of four models of child restraints that may not comply with
safety regulations. The affected Britax models are all Marathon (E9L06),
Husky (E9L30), and Wizard (E9L07) restraints, as well as restraints
manufactured by Britax for Snug Seat under the model name Traveller
Plus (E9L32). The recall includes the entire production of these
models through July 23, 2004. No other model is affected.

Extensive testing has determined that under certain circumstances,
the adjuster strap may slip within the metal buckle that controls
the tightness of the shoulder harness and may allow the harness to
loosen. While occurrence of slippage is extremely rare, if it were
to occur, in the event of a crash, the child may move farther forward
than allowed under Safety Standard 213. This may increase the risk
of injury. No accidents or injuries have been reported to date.

Britax will provide consumers with a kit enabling them to fix the
problem by simply replacing the adjuster strap. The kit, containing
a replacem ent strap and instructions, is expected to be available
for distribution within two weeks. All owners of these restraints
who returned a registration card will automatically receive the kit.
The affected seats should not be returned to the Britax retailer.

Until the adjuster strap is replaced, these restraint models are
safe to use as long as slippage is not occurring. Consumers are encouraged
to test their restraints for slippage:

Pull on the shoulder harness without lifting the adjuster
release lever (located on the front of the restraint under
the cover flap).

If the harness loosens, use of the restraint should be stopped
until the adjuster strap is replaced.

If the harness does not loosen, the restraint can continue to
be used until the replacement adjuster strap is received.

Because slippage may develop over time during repeated usage, it
is important to check for a secure adjuster strap before each use.
Even if the test shows the restraints are operating normally, all
owners of these restraints are urged to receive and install the replacement
strap.

Owners of these models who did not return a registration card are
urged to call Britax Customer Service at 800-683-2045 to provide
information so they can also receive the replacement strap and instructions.
Nonregistered owners will need to provide Britax with the following
information: Name, address, daytime telephone number, model name,
model number, manufacturing date, and batch. Model and manufacturing
information can be obtained from the label affixed to the restraint.

Britax has made manufacturing changes that resolve this issue in
restraints manufactured after August 1, 2004. In addition, all unpurchased
stock of these four models produced through July 23 are being retrofitted
with the new adjuster strap by Britax before being sold by retailers.
Restraints that have been retrofitted to comply with safety standards
will be clearly identifiable by their packaging.

Consumers with questions should contact Britax at 800-683-2045
or visit the Britax website at www.britaxusa.com.

Safety Recall
notice for the Husky

Britax Announces Voluntary Recall of Husky Child Restraints

Charlotte, NC January 16, 2004 - Britax Child Safety, Inc.
is conducting a voluntary recall on Husky child restraints.
It was determined that certain uses of the restraints may not
meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 compliance for
head excursion. No other products are involved.

Affected restraints are Husky restraints installed with lap
belt only installation as described in the current users manual
for a long/serpentine belt path. When installed in this manner,
in the event of a crash in the motor vehicle, head excursions
higher than allowed by Standard 213 could result.

All Husky owners who returned a registration card are automatically
receiving labels and instructions for placement of the new
labels over the corresponding instructions in the current users
guide and restraint cover label. Owners should be receiving
this information within the week (by January 21). These labels
and instructions will advise consumers using the lap belt only
installation to reroute the lap belt to use an alternative,
short belt path. This reinstallation will reduce loads to assure
Standard 213 compliance.

The affected seats should not be returned to the Britax retailer.
The retailers do not have access to the labels and instructions.
After January 21, all consumers who did not return a registration
card, but own a Husky child restraint should contact Britax
at 1-888-4BRITAX (1-888-427-4829).

In order to receive the label and instructions, owners will
need to provide Britax with the following information: Name,
Address, Daytime Telephone Number, Manufacturing Date, and
Batch of the Husky. This information can be obtained from the
label affixed to the back of the restraint.

Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. (DJG) of Columbus, IN., has decided
that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists
in the Cosco High Rise Booster Seats. These seats have an incorrect
warning label. This warning label, on the side of the seat,
states that the restraint is for use in the forward facing
mode for children UNDER 1(one) year of age. This seat is for
use in the forward facing mode for children OVER one year of
age. The instructions and all other labeling on the restraint
are correct.

DJG is providing a free in-home repair kit to consumers who
purchased the child restraint with a date code between October
1, 2003 and October 31, 2003 and a model number of 22-297,
22-298, or 22-299.

Enclosed you will find this kit for your child restraint.
It includes a replacement label and instructions. Follow the
instructions to make the repair.

If you would like additional information regarding the installation
of the kit, call DJG toll-free at 866-611-3022 Monday through
Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM EST.

You may also send a fax to 800-207-8182 or email us at highrise@djgusa.com
If after contacting us you are still not able to have the safety
defect remedied without charge and within reasonable time,
you may wish to write to the Administrator, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington,
DC 20590 or call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free DASH-2-DOT
(1-888-327-4236).

You may be eligible for reimbursement of a replacement child
restraint according to Federal regulations.

At Dorel Juvenile Group, our primary concerns are your family's
satisfaction and safety. We apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause you.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
announced that the Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. (DJG), will conduct
a recall campaign applicable to approximately 86,000 Alpha
Omega and Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 brand child restraints manufactured
from November 17, 2000, to January 10, 2001, Models 02-331,
02-332, 02-531, 02-533, 02-537, and 02-555.

Crash tests conducted by NHTSA demonstrated that the tether
webbing could be cut and separate in a crash, which constitutes
a failure to meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." In
the event of a crash, the child may not be properly restrained,
increasing the risk of injury.

DJG will mail a free repair kit along with easy-to-follow
installation instructions to owners who have returned their
registration cards. Owners who have not registered their product
should contact DJG’s toll-free number (866-611-3022)
Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM EST or fax to
800-207-8182. They may also e-mail DJG at alpharecall@djgusa.com.

NHTSA encourages parents to obtain and install the repair
kit as soon as possible, for the models listed above. If they
have no substitute child restraint, parents should continue
to use the seat while waiting to receive and install the repair
kit because this unrepaired DJG seat will still provide better
protection than an adult seat belt or no restraint.

Consumers with questions about this or any other recall campaign
should call NHTSA’s toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at
Dash-2-DOT (888-327-4236), or check NHTSA’s website,
www.nhtsa.dot.gov.

Bluffdale, Utah - Safeline Kids, Inc. is performing a voluntary
informational recall of approximately 10,495 units of the Sit'n'Stroll
child restraint, model #2003, manufactured between September
1, 2002 and October 21, 2003, for the following reason. When
the Sit'n'Stroll model #2003 is secured in the vehicle using
the lower forward-facing belt path (previously recommended
for children who weigh between 20 and 28 pounds and are less
than 33 inches tall) or when the shoulder and buckle pads included
with the restraint are used, forces during a crash could cause
the child’s head to move forward further than allowed
by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213. Shoulder
and buckle pads may interfere with the ability to adequately
snug the harness around the child.

No reports of incidents or injuries have been received. Owners
are instructed to discontinue using and discard the shoulder
and buckle pads provided with the Sit'n'Stroll model #2003.
Owners are also instructed to ensure that only the upper forward-facing
belt path is used when the Sit'n'Stroll is secured forward-facing
in the vehicle with children who weigh between 20 and 40 pounds.

A replacement label and revised instruction manual will be
sent to all affected owners who returned a registration card
to Safeline Kids, Inc. The revised labels and instruction manuals
have a revision date of 10/03. The new label and manual will
automatically be sent to the owners within the next two weeks.

Parents should continue to use this product, but must remove
and discard the shoulder and buckle pads and use only the upper
forward-facing belt path. If you have any questions regarding
this informational recall, please contact Safeline Kids toll
free at 800-829-1625 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. MST Monday
through Thursday or between 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. MST Friday,
email the Company at service@safelinekids.com or write to 14881
S. Concord Park Drive, Suite 2, Bluffdale, UT 84065, USA. Upon
request, replacement labels and instruction manuals will also
be available for retailers, child passenger safety organizations,
child passenger safety technicians and other interested parties.

Charlotte, NC October 3, 2003 - Britax Child Safety, Inc.
is conducting a voluntary recall on a small number of Super
Elite child restraints. It was determined that some of the
affected restraints may not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 compliance for head excursion. The 2,689 affected
Super Elites were manufactured between April 25, 2001 and February
15, 2002. No other products are involved.

On February 19, 2002, modifications were introduced on the
Super Elite that provided for a harness/adjuster system with
metal yoke, HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard System), chest clip,
and comfort pads. Testing has demonstrated that for Super Elite
child restraints without these modifications, the resulting
harness loads during a crash could cause the harness to move
and allow the child’s head to move further forward than
allowed by Safety Standard 213.

All affected Super Elite owners who returned a registration
card are automatically receiving a free harness replacement
kit within the next week (by October 10). This system will
reduce loads onto the harness to assure Standard 213 compliance.
In addition, the HUGS and Comfort Pads provide a soft cushion
between the harness webbing edge and the child’s neck.
Plus, the HUGS serve to encourage proper positioning of the
chest clip.

The affected seats should not be returned to the Britax retailer.
The retailers do not have access to the harness replacement
kit. After October 3, all consumers who did not return a registration
card in 2001 and 2002, but own a Super Elite manufactured between
April 25, 2001 and February 15, 2002 should contact Britax
at 1-888-4BRITAX (1-888-427-4829).

In order to receive the harness replacement kit, Super Elite
owners will need to provide Britax with the following information:
Name, Address, Daytime Telephone Number, Manufacturing Date,
and Batch of the Super Elite. This information can be obtained
from the label affixed to the back of the restraint.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) today advised consumers that
Graco Children's Products is expanding a safety recall originally
announced on March 12, 2003 to include 53,926 additional SnugRide
infant child restraints.

The additional SnugRide infant car seats, which have a manufacturer
date of March 7 or 8, 2003, may also be missing the hooks and
pins. If the hardware is missing, the carrier may not be securely
attached to the base. In the event of a sudden stop or vehicle
crash, the carrier could detach from the base, possibly resulting
in serious injury or death to the occupant of the seat.

Parents who find that a SnugRide infant seat does not have
hooks or pins should not use the base and should call Graco
at 1-800-345-4109 for a new base.

The infant carrier may, however, be used in the car without
the base. For proper instructions on installing the carrier
in the car without the base, parents should consult the instruction
manual. Installation instructions are also available on Graco's
web site.

Consumers with questions about this or any other safety recall
campaign should call NHTSA's toll-free Auto Safety Hotline,
(888) 327-4236, or check NHTSA's recall
information page under the recall number 03C-003000.

Evenflo Company, Inc. is offering a free safety upgrade kit
to all owners of Evenflo Cozy Carry infant car seats. Although
the car seats meet or exceed all federal safety standards,
recent crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration lead Evenflo to believe that the performance
of the detachable automobile base in certain types of collisions
may be improved with this free upgrade.

This kit is for Cozy Carry detachable automobile bases only.
The bases have the words "Cozy Carry" on them. These
bases may have been sold individually, together with a Cozy
Carry car seat, or in a travel system (with a car seat and
matching stroller).

Consumers who own Cozy Carry car seats should visit www.cozycarry.com
or call (800) 582-6698 to receive a free kit.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Dorel Juvenile Group
Inc., of Columbus, Ind., is again voluntarily recalling Cosco
Arriva and Turnabout infant car seats/carriers to address
a problem with the carry handle. On July 8, 1999, the two
federal agencies and Cosco, now known as the Dorel Juvenile
Group, announced the recall of 670,000 of these infant car
seat/carriers made from March 1995 through September 1997.
This recall adds 1.2 million of the same model infant car
seats/carriers made through January 2000.

When the seat is
used as a carrier, the plastic handle locks can unexpectedly
break or release from the carrying position, causing the
seat to unlatch or flip forward. When this happens, an infant
can fall to the ground and suffer injuries.

Dorel Juvenile
Group has received 416 reports of the handle locks on the
additional recalled infant car seats/carriers breaking or
unlatching, resulting in nine injuries to children. These
reports include bruises and scratches to the head and face.
According to the reports, some injuries occurred to children
restrained in the seat.

The recalled car seats/carriers were
sold under the Cosco Arriva and Turnabout brand names and
were manufactured by Dorel Juvenile Group in the U.S. The
car seat/carriers have the following model numbers:

ARRIVA:
02-665, 02-727, 02-728, 02-729, 02-731, 02-732, 02-733, 02-750,

are located on the instruction and warning label on the side
of the car seat/carrier. The recalled seats were manufactured
on or before Jan. 31, 2000.

Juvenile product, mass merchandise,
department stores and major discount stores nationwide sold
the Arriva and Turnabout infant car seats/carriers from Sept.
10, 1997 through December 2000 for between $30 and $60 when
sold alone or $90 to $140 when sold with strollers. The recalled
seats are no longer available for purchase.

Graco has determined that a small number of SnugRide infant
car seats may have missing hardware used to attach the carrier
to the base. If the hardware is missing, the carrier may not

PEG
PEREGO RECALL SAFETY INFORMATION - March 25, 2002

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements
of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Peg Perego USA, Inc. (“Peg Perego”) has determined
that certain Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Infant Car Seats produced
from May 20, 2001 to and including February 15, 2002 fail to
comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213. The
Primo Viaggio infant car seats were sold separately with a
base, or bundled with a stroller and sold as a Travel System. The
Production date of the car seat can be found on the Date-Code
Label. The Date-Code Label is a white
sticker, located on the back of the Car seat between the straps.

Infant seats affected by the Recall have a snap in the upholstery
directly over the locking belt adjustment mechanism. When
the upholstery is attached by the snap to the cover of the
adjustment mechanism, it may cause tension in the upholstery
due to the weight of the child, which may prevent the complete
engagement of the adjustment mechanism. As a result,
some slippage on the harness restraints may occur.

Please review the attached Inspection Sheet to determine
if this Recall Information and repair program affects your
infant seat. If it is affected, please follow the enclosed
easy-to-read instructions to improve the safety of your infant
seat. Please affix the enclosed “Inspected/Passed
NHTSA RECALL 02E006” sticker to the bottom of the infant
seat once you have determined either than your infant seat
is either not affected by this Recall Information, or that
you have completed the repair. If you are unable to repair
your seat or if you have any other questions or concerns, please
call Peg Perego at 1-877-737-3468.

Evenflo
Safety Recall Notice - March 22, 2002

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
today announced a safety recall of Evenflo Triumph convertible
child restraints manufactured from October 20, 2001 through
January 31, 2002. Certain components which act as a link in
the internal harness system manufactured by an Evenflo supplier
may not meet design specifications, and may not be strong enough
to fully secure the occupant in the event of a vehicle crash,
possibly resulting in serious injury. Evenflo will provide
owners with a free upgrade kit along with easy to follow installation
instructions.

"Parents should obtain and install the upgrade kit as
soon as possible, so that the car seat provides maximum protection
for the child," said NHTSA Deputy Administrator Rosalyn
Millman. "Parents and caregivers should properly restrain
children in the back seat for every trip."

Millman advised parents to continue to use the seat while
waiting to receive and install the repair kit because it will
still provide better protection than an adult seat belt or
no restraint.

a voluntary label recall of approximately 3,522 units of
the Sit `n' Stroll child Restraint, model #2240, manufactured
between April 2001 and October 2001, because the required
statement "This restraint is Certified for use in Motor
Vehicles and Aircraft" was printed in yellow instead
of red as required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

The label is located on the right side of the unit (P/N 6-0230-0)
and needs to be updated in order to conform to Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards.

To determine whether your unit was manufactured between April
2001 and October 2001, you can check the manufacturing date
in one of two places:

Molded in plastic on the upper back area of the unit (see
photo "A").
The label on the side of the unit (see photo "B").

If your unit is within the affected manufacturing period and
the statement, "This restraint is Certified for use in
Motor Vehicles and Aircraft" is printed in yellow instead
of red, Safeline Kids will provide a replacement label to cover
the existing label at no charge. If your unit is affected by
this label recall, please call now to request a replacement
label to ensure you have the proper labeling for use on aircraft.

Parents should continue to use this product. There are no
safety issues regarding this voluntary recall. If you have
any questions regarding this informational recall, please contact
Safeline Kids toll free at 800-829-1625 between 8:30 a.m. and

Defect: The seats fail to comply the requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No., 213 "Child
Restraint Systems." The FAA Certification Statement, "This
restraint is Certified for use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft," is
in yellow lettering instead of the required RED lettering.

not allowing a parent/guardian to bring or use this product
on an airplane.

corrected labels to registered owners to be placed over the
existing labels.

Britax
Safety Recall Notice - November, 2001

Dear Advantage Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements
of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Britax
Child Safety, Inc. has decided that certain " Advantage" model
child seats manufactured from March 5, 2001 through July 26,
2001 fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213 Child Restraint Systems. No other Britax restraints are
involved. The manufacturing date/batch is located on a label
on the side of the restraint. According to our records, your
Advantage is affected and a modification is necessary. We are
sorry to inconvenience you.

What's Wrong

Under crash loads it is possible that one of the
tether brackets of certain affected Advantage child seats may
separate from the tether attachment point. This separation
is a non-compliance with the standard.

What You Should Do

All consumers who returned a registration
card to us are automatically receiving a free metal ring kit
(enclosed). Please install the metal rings per the included
instructions. The installation will take about 3 minutes. Do
not return the seat to a retailer. Questions Please feel free
to contact us Monday through Thursday from 8AM to 4PM ET and
Friday from 8AM to 1 :30PM ET at (704) 409-1700 prompt 2 for
questions concerning this issue. Please be sure to have the
model and date/batch code from your seat. The date/batch is
specified on a label located on the side of the seat.

If you believe that we have failed or are unable to remedy
this noncompliance without charge or within a reasonable time
you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington,
DC 20590 or call the toll free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393
(Washington, DC area residents may call 202-366-0123).

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience the installation
of this kit causes you.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Britax Child Safety, Inc.

afternoon, or at the end of the week.

Voluntary
Recall Announced by Safeline Kids, October 16, 2001

Safeline Kids, Inc., of Northglenn, Colorado, announces the
voluntary recall of specific Sit'n'Stroll child restraints
because they were inadvertently shipped without a required
airbag warning label and/or incorrectly recommended the appropriate
weight for a child in the rear-facing position. Safeline Kids,
Inc. is working in full cooperation with the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration to notify owners of the affected
units.

Notification of Missing Air Bag Warning Label

Approximately 902 Sit'n'Stroll child restraints,
model # 3240, manufactured during a two month period between
June 9, l997 and August 9, 1997 are missing a required air
bag warning label on the seat pad. The air bag label warns
consumers not to place the child restraint in the rear-facing
position in any vehicle seat with an airbag.

Consumers are asked to check the manufacturing date in one
of two places: the label on the side of the child restraint
or molded in plastic on the upper back area of the unit. If
the manufacturing date does not fall within the time period
or the current car seat pad has an air bag warning label, then
the car seat is not recalled. If the car seat pad does not
have an air bag warning label and falls within the time period,
Safeline Kids, Inc., will replace the pad with one that has
the air bag warning label, free of charge. Registered owners
affected by this recall will be sent notification and instructions.

Notification of Incorrect Weight Recommendation

Sit'n'Stroll child restraints, model # 3240,
manufactured between November l996 and June 1999 incorrectly
recommend the rear-facing position for children weighing up
to 25 pounds instead of 22 pounds as allowed by federal motor
vehicle safety standards.

Consumers are asked to check the manufacturing date in one
of two places: the label on the side of the child restraint
or molded in plastic on the upper back area of the unit. If
the unit was manufactured during this time, Safeline Kids,
Inc. will send replacement labels recommending the use of the
product in the rear facing position up to 22 pounds, free of
charge. Registered owners affected by this information recall
will automatically be sent notification including new labels.

Parents should continue to use this product but it should
not be used in any vehicle seat with an airbag or with a child
weighing more than 22 pounds in the rear-facing position. Please
note the Sit'n'Stroll child restraint is recommended for use
up to 40 pounds in the forward-facing position.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 01E-052 and 01E-053

Defect: The seats fail to comply the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No., 213 "Child Restraint
Systems." The child seat was recommended for usage in
the rear-facing seating configuration by children not weighing
more than 25 pounds.

Corrective Action: Safeline Kids will
send new labels to registered owners to be placed over the
existing labels which will recommend that a child not weighing
more than 22 pounds be placed in the rear-seating configuration.

Defect: The bottom latch mechanism of the
seat on the left side does not completely engage the latching
rod on a small percentage of the car seats due to the improper
positioning of the metal reinforcing bracket of the latch mechanism
during manufacturer.

Corrective Action: Peg Perego will notify its customers of
the defect and provide instructions on how to identify affected
seats and perform the repair.

NHTSA No.: 01E-027

Note to Consumers: The telephone number
listed above is a temporary line that can be used to obtain
more information about this safety recall. However, please
be advised that this line can only handle a limited number
of calls and the hold time can be up to 20 minutes. Peg Perego
is working quickly with the telephone company and will have
established an 800 number dedicated to addressing this recall
by Monday, July 2, 2001.

Car
Seat Recall Announced by Century Products, June 18, 2001

In cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, Century Products announces a recall of 6,509
convertible child seats equipped with an A-lok assembly shipped
between April 10, and May 10, 2001.

The harness adjustment locking mechanism on the affected
restraint system models may allow the harness webbing to slip
through the device during a serious motor vehicle collision
when the convertible restraint system is in the forward facing
mode. The child may not be properly restrained, possibly resulting
in serious injury or death.

Consumers with Century car seats manufactured between April
9, 2001 and May 10, 2001 should contact Century at 1 800 575
6097 regarding the arrangements to replace the car seat. Consumers
should have the model name, model number and date of manufacture
of the car seat when making the call to the company. The information
is located on the label adhered to the car seat.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Evenflo Co. Inc. of
Vandalia, Ohio, is recalling about 3.4 million Joyride® infant
car seats/carriers. When the seat is used as an infant carrier,
the handle can unexpectedly release, causing the seat to
flip forward. When this happens, an infant inside the carrier
can fall to the ground and suffer serious injuries.

There have been 240 reports, in the United States, of handles
unexpectedly releasing, resulting in 97 injuries. These reports
include skull fractures, concussions, a broken leg, and numerous
scratches and bruises.

"Evenflo is offering a free repair to prevent the seat
from flipping forward," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. "It's
an easy repair to make, and it is designed to protect your
baby from a very serious injury."

"Riding in a car seat in the vehicle's rear seat is the
safest way to transport young children in a motor vehicle," said
NHTSA Executive Director Bob Shelton. "The recall announced
today is related to only using the seat as a carrier and not
to how the seat performs while in a car. Parents can continue
to use these carriers as car seats."

The recall involves all Evenflo Joyride® car
seat/carriers, which are white or gray plastic with seat pads
of various colors and patterns. "Evenflo Joyride Car Seat/Carrier" is
written on the outside of the handle locks. The seats have
model numbers beginning with 203, 205, 210, 435 or 493, which
can be found on a label underneath or on the side of the car
seat/carrier.

Juvenile product, mass merchandise and major discount stores
nationwide sold the car seats/carriers from January 1988 through
December 1998 for about $30 when sold alone, $48 when sold
as a Travel Tandem® (with a detachable convenience base),
and $89 when sold with a matching stroller.

Evenflo will provide consumers with a free easy-to-install
repair kit that helps secure the handle. Consumers should not
carry the seat by the handle until it has been repaired. CPSC,
NHTSA and Evenflo remind caregivers to always restrain infants
according to the instructions when in the car seat/carrier.

To receive a free repair kit, call Evenflo toll-free at (800)
557-3178 anytime, or visit the website at http://www.joyridecarseat.com. Consumers
should have the car seat in front of them when they call or
access the website. Consumers with questions about this recall
campaign should call CPSC's Hotline at (800) 638-2772 or visit
CPSC's website at www.cpsc.gov. Information
also is available at the NHTSA's toll-free Auto Safety Hotline
at (888) DASH-2-DOT (327-4236) or visit NHTSA's website at www.nhtsa.gov.

The recall results from a cooperative investigation conducted
by NHTSA and CPSC, which has led to several recalls in the
industry for similar problems. To see a picture of the recalled
product(s) and/or to establish a link from your web site to
this press release on CPSC's web site, link to the following
